Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Data compression does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! —BarrelProof (talk) 20:37, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Max4142. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article FreeFileSync, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Notice of sockpuppet investigation

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Max4142. Again I would encourage you to present your evidence at Talk:FreeFileSync so we can discuss it. If you can provide evidence that OpenCandy is no longer bundled with FreeFileSync, I will be glad to change the page to reflect that evidence, but unless you join the discussion on the article talk page we cannot examine yoiur evidence. Read WP:TALKDONTREVERT and WP:BRD. --Guy Macon (talk) 23:12, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Max4142, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

Request reason:

In reference to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:FreeFileSync and to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:(127.0.0.1) Wow, I haven't checked Wiki for quite some time (why? because I have something productive to do with my life), but it seems conspiracy theories are in full swing here. One of my users, "127.0.0.1" wrote on my forums once that he wanted to address the false information on the FFS Wiki page. Now I see he's been drawn into "sockpuppet" investigations and his account is being banned. If this isn't a "witch hunt" I don't know what is. Uh... I used a term that already occured in the garbage discussions before, so I'm clearly another sockpuppet, whatever? I don't care, "witch hunt" is the perfect term for this non-rational and abusive kind of misinterpreting and ignoring of facts. Personally I don't care about Wiki one bit anymore, so do whatever you like, block, delete, corrupt the Wiki pages as you please. I'm *only* writing because user "127.0.0.1" has asked me to do so, because he believes this will somehow "proof" that these "sockpuppet" allegations are wrong. I don't think this will prove anything to someone who doesn't want to changes his point of view. But why would someone waste so much energy on on Wiki article? Maybe GuyMacon is indeed a competitor who tries to get an advantage. (yes, other people can spin conspiracy theories, too). It's far more likely than all this "sockpuppet" nonsense, after all he is pushing hard to delete the FFS wiki page! So either this or he thrives on this pseuda drama, that he creates in first place. I fear this is the most likely explanation and I already regret that I'm probably feeding trolls here. Anyway this is just a courtesy to one of my users. I'm out!

Decline reason:

Declining to unblock as this is not so much an unblock as a manifesto. The mystery of what you mean by "One of my users, "127.0.0.1"" must perplex and haunt me for, well, at least till I finish typing. Sorry things did not work out. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 08:54, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
